I really need the following code to work. Under Linux, this works
PERFECTLY. Under DJGPP I get SIGSEVs every single time. See for
yourself:

-- 
#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct {
        int r, g, b;
        int closest_fit;
} Table;

main()
{
        Table thingy[255][128];
}

Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV

It doesnt crash with [255][32] but it does with [255][64]. In any case,
even with 128 it SHOULD NOT. It's not that much memory, and under linux
gcc it works. Any ideas? Please email me directly...
